sOCKwELL,
One of ,he Proprietors ofthe Wichita
Soloon Fined $50.

Mr.. Sockwell, was arrested last Mon
day morning charged with permitting
gambling in the Wichita saloon on
the previous Sunday. Monday morn
ing the case was continued until Sat
urday. Saturday it was continued
until to-day, both times at the request
of Mr.. Fitzburgh, his attorney. ms
morning the case came to t.1al. lie
plead not guilty. OF the charge.
Officer Ahearn was sworn and testi-
fed substantially as follows; lie said
he had heard deal of complaint
about the "going on" at that place,
(which testimony was objected to by
Mr.. Fitzhugh) Sunday morning be-
tween ~ and 2 o'clock | saw two
men standing at the SELDOM, and went
over to where they were. Found them
to be officers Kirby and Bailey. Alter
some maneuvering went to the
window, which is partially frosted, and
saw four men at table. This is Il
room attached to the bar room. Two
of them were playing cards; saw a
stack of chips and saw two silver dol
lars. watched them five or ten min
utes: could see through the pane of
glass where the frosting had been rub
bed of. About six o'clock | went
back there and they were still playing
| then saw bank note on the table,
the denomination could not determ-
inc.
Mr.. Fitzhugh attempted in cross
examination to shake the officers tcs-
timony, but was unable to do so,
This was all the witnesses the city
examined, though there were several
} others. Mr.. Sockwell had no wit
nesses.
Mr.. Obcnchain opened the case by
reading the ordinance bearing upon
il, and stated the case.
Mr. Fitzhugh talked quite while
against time. The only point he laid
any particular stress upon was that
the city had failed to prove by the
landlord that Sockwell & Rowland
had rented the room in which the
gambling was going on. lie admitted
the gambling, but said that the room
occupied might not have been in the
possession Of the defendant; at least
the city had failed 20 show that point
Attorney Miller showed to the
court how conclusively Mr.. Ahearn
had testified that the room in which
the gaming was permitted was
in an adjoining room, at
tached to the saloon, n
door leading into it from the saloon
known TO be part of the establish
ment, and il was not necessary for
them TO bring the landlord to court,
to prove that Sockwcll & Rowland
rented il, but if they wanted to make
that point they should have proved
that the room was not under the con-
troll of Sockwell Il Rowland. His
honor made statement in accordance
with the facts as given above, in sum-
ing up the case and said that it was a
clear ease OF violation OF law and
would impose penalty of S25.
Mr.. Fitzhugh gave notice of appeal.
Our readers will bear in mind
that these are the gentlemen who
brought the libel suit against the HEB
AID some little time ago, in which that
remarkable paper of their attorney
laid great stress upon the HERALD's
article iniuring these gentlemen's
"good standing" honorable reputa-
ton" and "social standing and as law
abiding citizens.

The Picnic, the Beautiful Picnic.

Now let us to the woodland HE,
where trees their verdure wrap,
for spring no longer fingers in, old
hurley winters lap. In picnic garb
we'll ramble forth, and sit beneath
the trees, and have our hides all
chopped and hacked, with stings
of humble bees. Well gaily don
our linen coats, and thin seersucker
pants, and sit beside the gurgling
stream, while DER us crawl the ants.
Well swallow picnic lemonade, to
moisten down our grub, which
people make by soaking one, cheap
lemon in a tub. The guileless
lemon we shall eat, devour the
clammy pie, and sit on bowls of
custard, while a tear bedims our
eye. Well tip the mustard in the
jam, the pepper in the tea. and try
with all our might to show that
we are filled with glee. Then let
us to the picnic he. our baskets in
our hand, and homeward come
filed up with woe, and leaves and
dust and sand.-Atchison { Kans. J

Useful Information.

We have just received from the
publisher a copy of Conklin's
Handy Manual of Useful Infor-
nation. Of the many books we
have seen that claim to be useful
we have yet to find any SO COM
plete as this. Books are cheap,
perhaps cheaper than ever before;
but even now it is a matter of sur
prise to find SO much information
contained in SO low-priced vol
ume as in the case of this one. We
find it to be filled with just that
mass of information that intelli-
gent people have always desired to
lay their hands upon, but could
heretofore find it in no one book.
1t supplies what many of the best
Libraries of the country could sup
ply no better. It is neat and con-
venient in size, Systematically
arranged, full of valuable facts of
practical utility, and more COM
prehensive than any other work of
its kind. You may carefully search
many volumes and not find a tithe
of the facts and figures appearing
In Its neatly printed pages. In it
You have the fruits of the labors
of many scholars who have de-
voted years to gathering the infor-
nation it contains. It is a hand
some volume of BIG pages, bound
in English silk cloth with red
edges, and will be mailed to any
address on receipt of so cents. by

place him in an unenviable light if
he we're exposed; that having no
opinion till after the popular side
is known, merits nothing but con-
tempt; that the newspaper must be
doomed by good, hard, honest
work, before business men will
boom it with advertising patron
age; that the patrons of the paper
are entitled to know how the affairs
of the country are being conduct
ed, though it ruins the prospects
and spoils the future of a dozen
would-be politicians; that people
pay for a paper to get the news aud
not to support any particular par
ty; that men who patronize the
paper expect value received for
every dollar they invest, and that
the newpaper man is not pauper
and does not sell his birth-right or
give up his manhood when he
places his name at the head of a
paper. If they do not learn these
things at the outset, the lot of a
newspaper man is more unenviable
than that of the man who fed on
husks with his masters swine, and
his position the most unfortunate
that can be imagined.

Human law has no direct power
to control diseased appetite. We
may punish the retailer for selling,
and imprison the drunkard for
drinking; but as soon as the victim
Is released from his confinement,
the retailer kindles his appetite
anew. We have tried this method
of refo;m for more than two CEN
turies, and yet we are not adj
vanced beyond the starting point
probably we are behind it. Now
we have found that though We can
not knock whisky barrels on the
head, and thus baulk the passion
and save victim. -Harace Mann.

True, Though Remarkable.

eyes, I'm from Dakota" he
said meekly, as he got into con-
versation with man on an east
ern train.
"Ah, is that so? I am thinking
Of going out there myself to in
vest in some farming land"
ave have some very fine land"
$50 [ understandable are not
some of the stories they tell of its
fertility exaggerated?"
"Why, my friend, / am sorry to
say some of them are downright
untruths.
That's what I thought. Now,
what is the most remarkable in
stance of the fertility of Dakota
soil which ever came under your
observation?"
"Well, [ believe the case of my
pump might go at the head of the
list
"What was it?'
81 dug well about forty feet
deep the first season 1 was there
and put down a wooden pump. It
happened thatit was made out of
small cottonwood log which was
little green and the soil at the
bottom of that we'll, forty feet from
the surface, was SO fertile that
that pump took root, and it also
grew up and branched out and
now while my children play in a
swing attached to one of the
branches, I pump water through
the hole which still remains in the
trunk"
"Doy you tell tht for the truth?"
"Why, certainl sir, 1 never tell
anything but the truth"
care you engaged in farming
or the real estate business?"
"Why I'm engaged in neither,
my friend, neither. I'm q preach

it has had beneficial influence

The Wabash Western is now
doing a greater amount of bust
ness than at any time in its history.
Fifty four cars of sugar were lay
ing at Des Moines Tuesday evening,
waiting to come over the Wabash,
their destination being ST. Louis,
Kansas City and st. Joe. New
steel is being rapidly laid, and
the road is being put in the best
possible condition to sustain the

The American Agricuiturlst as

The American Agricuiturlst as
Daily During the continu-
ance of the great Dairy and Cat
tie Show, held in New York City
in the second week of May, the
American Agriculturist, issued
a daily paper on the grounds every
morning at ten o'clock, of eighteen
pages, describing the scenes and
incidents from day to day, and
presenting illustrations of the va
rious cattle and farm implements
as premiums were awarded them.
Every number contained from
thirty to forty engravings of cat
tie etc, etc. 1t was rather of a
novelty for the Veteran American
Agriculturist, now not far from it's
tiftieth birthday.

Greentop Crumbs.

A nice rain Sunday evening
which was much needed. Farm
ers say the hay crop will be very
light on account of the dry wealth
er. The oat crop will be quite
short for the same reason.
Our school will close on Friday
of this week. Mr.. McNaught say
after school is out he is going on
the Charlton to fish and hunt for
two weeks.
Our crumbs must have gone
astray last week, as we could not
find them in the columns of your
paper.
Several of Greentop's young
folks attended the Methodist
Quarterly meeting north west of
klrksvllle last Sunday. We pre-
sumo they had a grand time.
Charley Winfree has the fastest
team in the country. No trouble
for it to trot five miles in half an
hour, and pull spring wagon
with six grown persons in it. Who
can beat it?
We understand the school board
has hired our present teachers for
next year with an advance of wag-
es.
Our young folks are still at work
at their entertainment. We are
waiting patiently. We have our
twenty cents yet, with which to
pay our admission, but if they
don't hurry The thing along, I'm
afraid the twenty cents will be
squandered, then we can't go, and
the proceeds will be just that
much short. l hope this gentle
reminder will have the desired
effect.
Il. NJ. Buckmaster and his little
boy went fishing on the Charlton,
and had very good luck, not in the
way of most fishermen, for they
were enabled to bring home some
fifteen or twenty nice catfish.
Mr.. Lights house is quite an
addition to our town, and will be,
when finished one of the incest
houses in town.
We understand the I. o. o. F.
are going to have their hall re-
painted and fixed up in grand
style.
Now if those who have charge
of the church would have it re-
painted and fenced, it would look
a thousand per cent better than it
does. Just think of it, only one
church in town, and that one get
ting weather beaten and black for
the want of two or three good
coats of pain; and that is not the
worst feature, it stands out on the
common with no fence around it,
and in the warm weather the out
cattle stand round it, making it,
not the incest place for people to
go. Let some one take this nat
ter in hand and see to it, until the
church is put in nice shape, and
then let every one be interested
enough in the matter to keep it in
nice condition. UNCLE Tom.
